There's no question that you'll have to beat every one of those stupid, across the body, late and over the middle throws that Mahomes makes out of him. Hell, if he completes one, bench his ass for the rest of the series. You cannot, cannot, cannot make that pass. Ever.
But as has been noted, without those concerns, he's not available after the 5th pick, that's how good that arm is. That's how bright the flashes are. If you want that kind of Aaron Rodgers passer to EVER be a Chief, that's the kind of risk you have to take.
Or you live with 10 more years of Smith/Petermans. In the middle there's a Davis Webb. I dunno, am I crazy to see a little bit of Stafford in there? He doesn't have Stafford's pure arm strength, but even Stafford doesn't have the fastball he once did. I guess you could call him a little more mobile version of Flacco?
Nowhere near the ceiling but probably more floor. I'd take Webb in the 2nd 100 times out of 100 over Peterman in the 3rd (or 5th, for that matter). But it seems unlikely that Webb makes it to the 2nd and I'm not excited about taking him in the first. Maybe I just haven't looked at him closely enough.
